Cuba is and will continue to be socialist. Cuba is and will continue to be a friend of the Soviet Union and of all the socialist states.”

Imperialism and colonialism, took the top spot in Castro abhorrent list, which to him, injustice and oppression should be resisted by all.

We do not need the empire to give us anything.” his rapprochement to still remain that it should be on mutual term.

He was a staunch opponent of capitalism, “I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is s gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition", his was for the people.

His Revolution gave life to millions in Cuba and throughout the Third World, supported Africa in times of need and gave millions a reason to live and smile.
